    I've got a Supersprint manifold for the scirocco, that looks great hanging from the roof timbers in the garage....[:$]

    yeah it idled fine last time i started it sounds rather burbly! get a vid at some point. got a vaccum guage on the way to see if theres any leaks etc but its having M.O.T asap. had to play with the throttle stop, cable tension and idle and maf screws to get it right though.
    tuned it up using rubjonnys guide and my co2 meter and all seems ok, not driven it yet still but got my slam panel for the lights todays, which im gonna fit soon as, hope it comes with the horn etc! othersise got to transfer it all over from the rallye one.

    think probably an air leak. i had to tighten 2 inlet manifold bolts and found another had a stripped thread... vey bad! i now have a vacuum tester to check if the other 5 bolts have sealed it. its got m.o.t friday 12pm and no lights/bulbs/slam panel/grille on yet! arghhh hopefully the light wiring can be adapted otherwise im screwed.
